Cottonwood Airport serves Cottonwood, Arizona at 3,550 ft elevation with its longest runway, 14/32, at 4,250 by 75 ft.

02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 3,550 ft is about 8°C. Every 1,000 ft of density altitude adds roughly 8 percent to a turboprop's takeoff distance and 5 percent to its landing distance. The table uses Piper Meridian book numbers (2,438 ft takeoff and 2,110 ft landing over a 50 ft obstacle at sea level, ISA, max weight) as a reference airplane; heavier turboprops and light jets scale the same way from their own POH figures.

Conditions	Density altitude	Takeoff est.	Landing est.	Landing × 1.5
Standard day (ISA, 8°C)	3,550 ft	3,130 ft	2,485 ft	3,727 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	4,750 ft	3,364 ft	2,611 ft	3,917 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	5,950 ft	3,598 ft	2,738 ft	4,107 ft
35°C afternoon	6,802 ft	3,765 ft	2,828 ft	4,241 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (14/32, 4,250 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (4,241 ft needed). The percentages are a generic rule of thumb applied to one reference airplane, not certified performance data for any specific aircraft, and the runway size categories describe the runway, not your airplane's suitability. Verify with the approved flight manual before every flight.

03Nearby fields with 5,000 ft or more
